Preparing an exam in EvaLumina: the number of forms, the question bank and quotas by learning outcome

Copying stops working

One form for every student

  • Questions and alternatives are shuffled, so the right letter changes from one form to the next.
  • Variants of the same concept never land on the same form, and every form adds up to the same score.
  • The answer key is saved encrypted.

The same bank question, in another position and with another right letter on each form.

Question banks

A question editor with everything a bank needs

  • Each question as a form, with the same question in the bank's text format beside it.
  • Blocks with a shared case and picture, open-ended questions with a model answer, learning outcome, cognitive level and variants.
  • Every question is checked as you type, by the same reader that later builds the exams.

Item analysis from start to finish

  • Forms balanced by learning outcome and cognitive level.
  • KR-20, difficulty, discrimination and distractors, computed per bank question and not per position.
  • What was measured goes back into the bank, so the next exam starts from data.
